Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I also need to monitor the Packets per Second (PPS) for each network interface. btop only shows the bandwidth. Therfore an additional tool, like vnstat, needs to be used, which is very cumbersome when btop can quickly switch between different interfaces and show their stats.

Describe the solution you'd like Also include the PPS (packets per seconds) metric in the network panel.

This could be implemeted in two ways:

  1. Silmpler solution: Show current PPS for download/upload above or below the current bandwidth: Bildschirmfoto vom 2024-03-28 09-54-17-1

  2. More elegant solution:

    • Introduce a new switch in the header of the network panel, next to sync, auto, zero ...
    • This switch now toggles the entire network panel (including the graphs) from PPS to bandwith The PPS view could look like this: Bildschirmfoto vom 2024-03-28 09-54-17-2_
